You're right about that, but don't underestimate the impact on reddit. I, for one, was reluctant to leave, and I saw the quality of all my subscribed subs to deteriorate heavily, even after dust settling. They may have still most of their users, but lost a lot of key people who helped in keeping the communities healthy and active.

It's nice to see syncthing becoming more popular. It's a great foss app that deserves more attention and can be used in so many contexts, replacing several proprietary and restrictive solutions
You probably mean the relay servers. They are used in case your devices are behind a NAT and don't have any ports forwarded. In that case, it would be impossible for devices on different networks to communicate over the internet, so the relay servers make the communication work. It's not something to worry, since your data is encrypted when passing through it, but it can be disabled.
At one hand, I like lemmy for being smaller and cozier, but on the other, the possibility of reddit becoming unprofitable due to lost users is so awesome to be missed.
COME ON REDDITORS, JOIN LEMMY AND LET REDDIT ROT!
Still far from easy for the average user.
And the poorer people find themselves having to trade their privacy for access to technology.
Looks like the best between being practical and secure. Too bad I suck at making knots.

I thought everyone disabled notifications in groups
That explains a lot... :(
